I have done a few long trips on my XBlade. It's not built for touring, but it works as well as it needs to. The biggest issue from daylong rides is the seat comfort.

The XBlade feels more planted on highways than my friend's Apache. The Apache, however, has better luggage mounting options.

It’s a tourer trying to be a city bike. It'll do okay, but if you are a long-distance rider, there are better options.

I love touring on my XBlade! It's not as comfy as larger bikes, that's sure, but it's efficient and nimble enough to be fun on twisty roads.

The XBlade is like a jack of all trades, but master of none. It can tour; don't be expecting it to be great at it. Occasional trips, though.

With a small windscreen and softer grips, my XBlade is a decent tourer. All you need to do is make the right changes.

The XBlade does well on a few 500 km day trips I’ve done. Anything shorter and you wish for more power, while anything longer and you wish for a bigger engine.

People don't give it credit for things it's capable of. No, it’s not a dedicated tourer, but it’s versatile enough to cope with the odd long ride without too much hassle.
Is the Honda XBlade Double Disc Model worth the extra price over the single-disc variant?
17 January 2025 06:48
Absolutely worth it! The double disc setup just gives me so much more confidence when I’m riding in heavy traffic. Safety is a game changer.

It's overkill for a 160cc bike, nah. For those of us who ride in the city, the one disc is more than enough. Keep your money; save it for better gear.

I went from single disc to double disc, and I really couldn't tell the difference. Really, it's more for psychological than practical necessity.

The double disc is a great feature for a newbie rider. It forgives panic braking and teaches you how to brake properly.

It's not just the disc that costs extra. The double-disc variant offers you more build quality overall. If you can afford it, it's a no-brainer.

I've ridden both; the double disc feels more balanced. Hard braking causes the single-disc model to dive forward a bit, which isn't very confidence inspiring.
Is the Honda XBlade Double Disc Model worth the extra price over the single-disc variant?

If you're mostly commuting, it’s not worth it. Yet if you're the type of person who likes to take your bike on weekends, that rear disc can be a lifesaver through twisty roads.
Is the Honda XBlade Double Disc Model worth the extra price over the single-disc variant?

Honda is just trying to justify a price hike with the double disc. It's marketing. There's no real performance upgrade over the everyday riding.

I'd say go for it. You may not need it now, but as you get more experience and get more aggressive with your riding, you’ll be glad you have it.

It's a tough call. It’s nice that you have extra stopping power, but it also means more maintenance down the road. Decide before you consider your riding style.
And how does the XBlade’s LED headlight stack up against other bikes in its class?

The XBlade's LED headlight is good for nothing. It’s cool looking, but my friend’s Apache lights up the road far better.

I love it! The bike has a premium look to it, and the spread is great for city riding. Better than the halogen setups on most 160 cc bikes, definitely.
